You hav'nt seen scared, shortly after buying my 95' 318 I did a 45 MPH lane change
in the rain and stepped on the gas, I broke traction when my tires passed over the
painted lines and nearly swapped ends (I was almost sideways going 45), this was
very close especialy with traffic around and my family on board....watch those horses!!!!
